    I just have to say...

    WTF is this ****ing team ****ing thinking? Yes, McCoy can play. Yes, we needed RB help.

    But a young stud LB for a 27 y/o RB with a $9.5mm cap hit? Seriously?

    The Watkins trade shed doubt on Whaley' judgment for me, but this is just another whole level of dumb.

    Now we only have ~$20 million to fix the OL, re-sign Hughes and Spikes and sign rookies.

    I'm at a loss for words.

    Hughes and Spikes were gone already.

    Let's sign that top notch FA Guard and draft another in the 2nd round.

    Build this OL to run the ball.

    Shades of the same plan Rex had with the Jets, and we know how that worked out.

    The D without Kiko,nSpikes or Hughes isn't nearly as good. lB went from a strength to a hole by losing Kiko and presumably Spikes.

    They can still create cap space too.

    Can you wait to over react until tomorrow morning?

    And, this young stud LB was coming off a knee injury

    That part is not irrelevant.

    When did Kiko become a stud? Let's not get it twisted the kid has huge potential, but he had some big flaws that were exposed in the 2nd half of his rookie year.

    You just traded a Top 30 LB for a Top 5 RB straight up. That's a win.

    It's 2015, not 1985. And knees aren't Achilles' tendons. Guys come back from knee injuries all the time.

    And how are we going to clear cap without losing talent?

    Short term return was a couple of AFC Championship games, no?

    Coming from somebody who has annually talked about how the Bills lack talent, that shouldn't be a difficult question to answer.

    For sure, but that was the peak. And then it was downhill from there.

    Not disagreeing that long term it didn't work out. But in your effort to discredit Ryan's team building philosophy or tactics it did bring really good short term results.

    For a team that hasn't seen the playoffs in a LONG time that's a hell of something to like.

    It is 2015 not 1985. However, it's not 2045 either. Even though players return from knee injuries, how many of them are 100% as good as they were before their knee injury when they return?

    I have to agree with you on that, you guys deserve the playoffs. But Rex also was working with another staffs players.

    And how many RBs are as good at 27 or 28 as they were at 23 or 24?

    He was the leading tackler on a team ranked 29th against the run.

    Its not like he was Dick Butkus.

    I'm still trying to see the drop off after losing him last year.

    I'd have rather they traded for a QB..but I don't know anyone stupid enough to give up a quality QB for a LB.

    Anyway, welcome to Buffalo Shady, be sure to tip your waitress.

    Hey, in case you haven't noticed, this team hasn't won a playoff game since BILL CLINTON was in office.

    If Rex gets to an AFC championship only to watch the whole thing implode, it will have been worth it.
